“The Great Impersonation!”

Tex saves Howard from death in the desert. Learning Howard is running against Davis, Tex impersonates Howard to help him win his campaign. When Davis takes Howard's father prisoner, Tex ends the deception and rides to the man's rescue. Howard wins the election.

“The Menace in the Past!”

Johnny holds horses for two men who prove to be bank robbers and are killed. To ensure Johnny stays away from crime, Blaze tells a story about himself as a young man and how he turned against his partner Keno Forbes. Once Johnny is convinced by the story, Blaze admits to Tumbleweed he made up the entire tale.
